Soulful Detroit techno infused with Latin rhythms and triumphant synth brass. A rhythmic manifesto of urban optimism and high-tech soul for the dancefloor.
September 2013 · GMi Productions
Descendants of the Resistance is a masterclass in what is often called Hi-Tech Soul. It sounds like the heartbeat of a city that refuses to give up, blending the mechanical precision of Detroit techno with the organic warmth of Latin percussion and jazz-influenced harmonies. The album is defined by its use of bright, brassy synthesizer leads that feel like fanfares for a future that is still worth fighting for. It avoids the cold, clinical tropes of electronic music in favor of something deeply human and spiritual, where every 4/4 kick drum is balanced by a swinging shaker or a complex conga pattern.
